Mixed Blood Interstate Auditions

AUDITIONS FOR

Interstate

By Kit Yan and Melissa Li

Directed by Jesca Prudencio

Interstate is a Queer Asian-American pop-rock musical about two trans people at different stages of their journeys, navigating love, family, masculinity, and finding community in the era of social media. It charts Dash, a transgender spoken word performer as he goes on a cross-country tour with Adrian, a lesbian singer-songwriter, as the activist band, Queer Malady, fueled by the allure of fame and a desire to connect with the Queer Asian community. The band’s fiercely political and deeply personal music touches Henry, a transgender teenage blogger living in middle America, who finds solace in their art as he struggles with his own identity and family.

We encourage transgender/non-binary actors to audition for the other cisgender roles as well. We also encourage non-professional actors to audition.

Vocal Ranges

Although the music is currently written for the ranges above, we recognize the gender limiting language of voice and musical theater, and encourage people of all unique vocal ranges to submit.
